$12 for an activity wristband on Th/Fri and $25 on the weekend.
There is no admission cost to enter, just the price of an activity wristband if you want to participate in additional fun.
This is another one we haven't visited yet, but can't wait to check out because of the lengthy list of activities they have!

Fall Harvest Orchard | Delano
Admission $13. We are really excited to visit this one and check out the playground. Most of the activities are included in the admission price also which is great!
Fresh Acres Farm | Monticello
“Everything ranges from free to $5 per child.”
Honestly, we chose to skip this one when we had the opportunity to go last week simply because they don't have much going on during the week as far as activities go.
It seems like this place is best for when they are hosting an event you want to go to.

Aamodt's Apple Farm | Stillwater
$8 wristband for weekdays and $25 for weekends - no charge for admission or parking.
There is a fun list of activities that would be worth it if it wasn't so far from our house LOL. Listing it though because it looks fun and the price is reasonable!

LuceLine Orchard | Watertown
Admission $18. We went to this a couple years ago and won't go again. It was way too expensive for what we got out of it and most activities weren't included in the admission price… it had rained heavily the week leading up to our visit also and most things were ...
Most activities are included in the price now, but $18 is too steep for our family, especially when they're only open on the weekends so it'll get insanely busy to go.

Twin Cities Maze | Brooklyn Park
No Dogs Allowed
Admission $15+. We haven't been to this one yet - but plan to check it out the first week of October. I'm going back and forth about whether we should just get season passes or just go for a single day.
There are so many activities and I don't think that we could get to all of it in a single day tbh.

Waldoch Farm | Lino Lakes
We absolutely love this place - it is FREEEEE - yes, you read that correctly, FREE to visit. My son loves walking around in the store to see all the fun decorations and array of pumpkins. Lots of knick knacks and things to buy - MAKE SURE YOU BRING QUARTERS for the little rides and if you want to feed the animals.
Every time we go, we start in the corn pit and then go outside to have our packed lunch and then visit the animals (the goats are our favorite).
We visit the corn pit ($4.50) multiple times each year and can't get enough of it. It is located IN the greenhouse, so keep that in mind when planning. If its hot outside, it gets really warm there.
The petting zoo is FREE - you can use quarters to get feed for them but you don't have to.
My nephew has loved the gem mining each year, but it is an additional cost. We would buy the biggest bag and then split it between the two boys.
We have also enjoyed the silly string course thingy in the past but rarely go on the weekends and that activity is only available on the weekends.
They also have bounce houses, hay rides and a corn maze that's available on the weekends only and all cost a fee. They have enough attractions to entertain our family and it's typically not super duper busy.

Country Sun Farm | Lake Elmo
Admission $14+. This is one that we have had our eyes on for quite some time, but haven't had the desire to commit to it until this year. We are going to visit in October and I'm excited to get this one off my “to visit” list!
The attractions are a PLENTY and although admission is a little steep (at $14+ depending on the day you visit), you can save $4-5 by booking online in advance.

Pinehaven Farm | Wyoming
Admission $7. Although I had visited when I was in high school, I haven't been here since having a child. I can tell you I'm stoked about the cheap admission and the fact that almost all activities are included in the admission price.
We can't wait to check this one out!

Afton Apple Orchard | Hastings
Admission $16+. We only visited Sever's once, about four years ago, mostly because its a really far drive for us and the price is not worth it for the drive time because I hate driving... HOWEVER, if we lived closer - we would 100% buy a season pass and visit time and time again.
They have such a great variety of things to do for all ages.

Sever's Festivals | Shakopee
Admission $16+. Although this is going to be one of the more expensive outings, we CANNOT WAIT to see this. It's going to be the perfect blend of Halloween decor in the Christmassy light way.
Its always too cold for my son to do Christmas light walks, so I'm hoping for good weather when we visit The Pumpkin Trail in October! *fingers crossed*

The Great Pumpkin Trail | Wyoming
Admission $5. This one is super close to us and it looks like SO MUCH FUN. The biggest downside is lack of weekday hours, but we will make it work.
The admission cost includes a lot of stuff already and the things it doesn't include are reasonably priced.

Anoka County Farms | Ham Lake
Admission $18, which is steep, BUT it's a season pass to encourage return customers… which is honestly genius.
One of our fellow homeschooling friends lives nearby and says it's amazing. We plan to go near the end of October and check it all out. They are open until November 2nd, which will hopefully give us the opportunity to return a second time before the ...

Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest | Jordan
Admission $8+. This one is close to home and has a great list of activities to enjoy! My brain is somewhat turning to mush after all of these other places listed, so I don't know what else to add - it looks fun and we can't wait to check it out!
Dehns Pumpkins | Dayton
